Welcome to the first Software Updates article in the year 2008. I continue this successful series of articles in this year due to demand by many of my readers. Software Updates takes a look at all applications that have been mentioned at Ghacks previously to see if they have been updated in the last week.
If they have been updated I will list them in this article. Only software that is Open Source or free will be mentioned and you can rest assured that I will write about new programs that have emerged in the last week in a separate article.
You will not miss any great new software releases and updates this way. If a release has slipped through my bookmarks and RSS feeds let me know about it so that I can add it the list of observed programs.
µTorrent 1.8 Build 7435 Alpha – a new alpha version of the lightweight Bittorrent client.
7-Zip 4.58 Alpha 1 – an excellent packer.
